Champion Gangway's Final Feature Now Top Living Prducer!

With the completion of her daughter Scarlet's championship (see below), Murphie became the top living producing bitch and the top producing bitch of modern times (last 30 years), with twelve champion offspring. She is second (tied) on the all-time producing bitch list with more champions to come. Beyond just finishing their championships most finished with true distinction: nine finished with multiple bests-of-breed, eight with group placements, six with specialtly wins, five with five-point majors, and two with bred-by BIS. And many went on to distinguished careers as specials: five have been nationally ranked as specials in at least one year and four were ranked in 2009 alone. She is arguably the top producing bitch of all time! Murphie is co-owned by breeder Bill Brown and Cheryl Coffman.
